The
Dollar Index fell by the most since the first quarter of 2011 after the
European Central Bank pledged to protect the euro from unraveling and the
Federal Reserve committed to reduce unemployment via open-ended debt buying,
which may debase the U.S. currency.

This is
not going to reduce unemployment; this is simply a "kicking the can down
the road" moment for the Fed, because they have absolutely nothing
constructive they can do at this point.

Moody's, which still gives its top rating to U.S. Treasury securities, has
warned that it's "unlikely" Washington will keep that rating. The
only way to do so, Moody's said in September, would be for lawmakers to approve
a "large, immediate fiscal shock" that sharply cut deficits. But
austerity of that magnitude would trigger the recession that many business
leaders are worried about, which makes it politically implausible and probably
foolish as well. So passing a less disruptive set of measures, while tolerating
a credit-rating downgrade, seems like the best option among bad choices.What happens, however, when the US
government's credit rating downgrade is so severe, that no financial
institution will loan it money?!?

British Prime Minister David Cameron cancelled his high-profile Amsterdam
speech, officially, because of the hostage crisis in Algeria. Privately,
officials say the move came because President Obama called him just hours ahead
of time to browbeat him further on Britain’s future in the EU.
Cameron, who has been pushing for reform in the EU, was planning to warn
that Britain was “drifting toward the exit” on the EU question and would
continue to do so unless reforms were enacted.
Obama, however, called to reiterate that the US believes keeping Britain in
the European Union is vital to world security and that they consider UK
withdrawal for any reason unacceptable.The reason Obama is brow-beating Cameron
regarding a potential British exit from the EU is that when the Euro crashes,
it will bring the American financial system down with it.

ROBBING PETER MALI TO PAY PAUL
GERMANY

Our story starts with the fact that many nations have deposited gold bullion
at the New York Federal Reserve. That gold vault was a centerpiece for the
Bruce Willis film, "Die Hard With a Vengeance."

The idea is that while you and I are required to transact business with
piece of paper and ink, large banks and nations still settle their accounts
with gold, which is simply wheeled from one nation's vault to another to settle
a debt, all of it under the
roof of the Federal Reserve Gold Depository in New York City, or the similar
institutions at the Bank of England and Band of France.
Then, in 2009, a worker at a German gold bullion trader grew suspicious of a
gold bar that had come in, and decided to assay the gold content. But the drill
bit broke, revealing that the core of the gold car was filled with tungsten, a
metal almost the exact same density as gold. The bar was cut open, and the
scandal reported on German TV.
Alerted, other gold centers began to scrutinize their gold bars and more
fakes quickly surfaced, including China, and the Manhattan jewelry district.

It quickly became apparent that the problem of tungsten filled bullion bars
was widespread. Because many of the fake gold bars had the marking of US
sources, nations began to ask for audits and tests of the gold bullion held in
their name by the New York Federal Reserve. To the surprise of many, the New
York Federal Reserve refused! Indeed the New York Federal Reserve refused the
German government permission to simply look at their bullion! Germany's private
central bank then went public assuring the Germans that they trusted America's
private central bank and did not need to see the gold. That was followed by a
bizarre editorial from CNBC's Senior
Editor Jim Carney that it didn't really matter if the bullion was really there
at the New York federal Reserve, as long as the bookkeeping said it was!
That set off everyone's alarm bells!
The German government started demanding their physical gold to be
repatriated back to Germany from both the Bank of France and the New York
Federal Reserve. Germany demanded all of the 374 tons of gold held by the Bank
of France, but only 300 tons of the 1500 tons of bullion held by the New York
Federal Reserve. Both the Bank of France and the New York Federal Reserve have
stated that the process of returning the gold will take years, five years for
the French gold, and seven for the gold coming from the New York Federal
Reserve. The delay makes the situation clear. Neither the Bank of France nor
the New York Federal Reserve actually have the gold Germany deposited, sending
tungsten fakes back to the very nation that first spotted the fraud is risky,
the France and the United States are scrambling to find replacement gold.
Which brings us to Mali. Mali is one of the
world's largest gold producers. Together with neighboring Ghana they account
for 7-8% of world gold output. That makes them a rich prize for nations
desperate for real physical gold. So, even as Germany started demanding their
gold back from the Bank of France and the New York Federal Reserve, France
(aided by the US) decided to invade Mali to fight "Islamists" working
for "Al Qaeda." Of course, "Islamists" has become the
catch-all label for people that need to ne killed to get them out of the way of
the path to riches, and the people being bombed by France (aided by the US) are
not "Al Qaeda" but Tawariqs, who have been fighting for their
independence for 150 years, long before the CIA created "Al Qaeda".
Left to themselves, the Tawariqs could sell gold to whoever they want for
whatever they want, and right now China can outbid the US and France. So off to
war your children must go, to spill their blood for the money-junkies' gold.

The
so-called "clash of civilizations" we read about on the corporate
media is really a war between banking systems, with the private central bankers
forcing themselves onto the rest of the world, no matter how many millions must
die for it. Indeed the constant hatemongering against Muslims lies in a simple
fact. Like the ancient Christians (prior to the Knights Templars private
banking system) , Muslims forbid usury, or the lending of money at interest.
And that is the reason our government and media insist they must be killed or
converted. They refuse to submit to currencies issued at interest. They refuse
to be debt slaves. So off to
war your children must go, to spill their blood for the money-junkies' gold. We
barely survived the last two world wars. In the nuclear/bioweapon age, are the
private central bankers willing to risk incinerating the whole planet just to
feed their greed? Apparently
so. UPDATED

Germany is set to retrieve its gold reserves held abroad, in a move critics
fear could trigger a contagion of mistrust among the world’s central banks.
The timing of the decision – amid continued uncertainty in global markets
and ongoing turbulence in the eurozone – is also likely to prompt accusations
that Germany is preparing for the eventuality of an escalation of the global
financial crisis.
The move comes just months after the German Federal Court of Auditors called
on the Bundesbank to carry out a physical inspection of the gold reserves it
stores at foreign banks.
At the time it was thought the precious metal holdings had never been fully
checked.

The Ghana Armed Forces (GAF) is waiting for the green light from ECOWAS to
send 120 soldiers to the besieged nation of Mali.
I would not be so quick to help. If any more nations start to demand their
gold bullion back from the Federal Reserve, the US will turn its covetous eyes
on Ghana's gold mines.

Consider the fiscal cliff issue, which our political leaders discussed
endlessly for over a month, only to then pass a “deal” which both raised taxes
AND failed to cut the deficit or debt.
Again, nothing solved, but plenty of posturing and blame.
Expect more of this. Today, the top story for the US is gun control even
though we will officially breach the debt ceiling in roughly one month’s time.
The last time we did this the US lost one of its AAA ratings from a credit
agency and the markets imploded wiping out over a trillion dollars in household
wealth in a matter of days.This time around, things will be far worse if nothing is solved. If
the US loses another AAA rating, then the financial markets could face systemic
risk. The reason for this is that US Treasuries are one of the senior most
forms of collateral used by the banks to backstop the $600+ trillion
derivatives market.This country may well be hovering on the
brink of fiscal collapse.

France, the former slave power of west Africa, has poured into Mali with a
vengeance in a military attack launched on January 11. French warplanes are
bombing towns and cities across the vast swath of northern Mali, a territory
measuring some one thousand kilometers from south to north and east to west.
French soldiers in armoured columns have launched a ground offensive, beginning
with towns in the south of the northern territory, some 300 km north and east
of the Malian capital of Bamako.

President Hollande of France visited Algeria 2 weeks before launching his
attack on Mali. He was given a green light for his attack aircraft to be
refueled in Algerian Airspace, and according to an anonymous Algerian source he
was given the finance to wage the war on Mali (reminds me of Gaddafi financing
Sarkozy's election campaign).

Despite public claims from Obama and the corporate media that anyone who
says the government is coming for their guns is nothing more than a right wing
conspiracy theorist, the reality of the situation is that many different
politicians and proponents of gun control have openly revealed their actual
intentions for gun confiscation.
Multiple different statements that have either been made recently or
surfaced and gone viral in the past month paint a clear picture as to what the
powers that be actually want and are possibly planning to do.
On top of that, a bill introduced into the House of Representatives also
pushes citizens to voluntarily turn in their guns in yet another move towards
confiscation. Remember, the government doesn’t have to go door to door
confiscating firearms, they can easily use a series of laws that when combined
would essentially equal confiscation for millions of Americans.

In 2000, New York legislators recognized the ubiquitous and unambiguous
connection between violence, especially gun violence and mass murder, and the
widespread prescribed use of psychiatric drugs.
Senate Bill 7035 was introduced in the New York State Senate that year
requiring police agencies to report to the Department of Criminal Justice
Services (DCJS) on certain crimes and suicides committed by a person who is
using psychiatric drugs, including assault, homicide, sex offenses, robbery
offenses, firearms and other dangerous weapons offenses, kidnapping and arson.
The preamble to the bill read, in part:

The toxic effects of the mercury, also known in vaccines as Thimerosal, have
once again been confirmed, this time by researchers from the University of
Brazil. Marking the sixth major study in recent months to condemn the use of
mercury in medicine, the new study reveals that mercury causes serious brain
damage, and is linked to autism and other developmental diseases in children
and Alzheimer’s disease in adults.
Dr. Jose Dorea and his colleagues conducted an extensive, peer-reviewed
analysis of various studies and available information in major databases that
address the effects of low-dose Thimerosal, or ethylmercury, on neural tissue
and behavior. They found conclusively that Thimerosal accumulates in brain
tissue, negatively affects brain development, and harms brain cells.

Harvard University researchers' review of
fluoride/brain studies concludes "our results support the possibility of
adverse effects of fluoride exposures on children's neurodevelopment." It
was published online July 20 in Environmental Health Perspectives, a
US National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences' journal, reports the NYS Coalition Opposed
to Fluoridation."The children in high fluoride areas had
significantly lower IQ than those who lived in low fluoride areas,"
write Choi et al. Further, the EPA says fluoride is a chemical "with
substantial evidence of developmental neurotoxicity." Fluoride
(fluosilicic acid) is added to US water supplies at approximately 1 part per
million attempting to reduce tooth decay. Choi et al. write, "Although
fluoride may cause neurotoxicity in animal models and acute fluoride poisoning
causes neurotoxicity in adults, very little is known of its effects on
children's neurodevelopment." They recommend more brain/fluoride research
on children and at individual-level doses. "It's senseless to keep
subjecting our children to this ongoing fluoridation experiment to satisfy the
political agenda of special-interest groups," says attorney Paul Beeber,
NYSCOF President. "Even if fluoridation reduced cavities, is tooth
health more important than brain health? It's time to put politics aside and
stop artificial fluoridation everywhere," says Beeber.

Worried about draconian Internet laws? Creeping surveillance? The inability
to share with others without being criminalized? The Internet is still a tool
of tremendous power, but a deep rot has set in. We have caught it early and we
are fighting to stop this rot, but there are other options we can begin
exploring to hedge our bets, enhance our current efforts of fighting against
corporate monopolies, and eventually, build an Internet of the people, by the
people, for the people - big-telecom monopolies not welcomed...
